I'd heard the pitches: âGet paid to shop!â and âGet free stuff!â But I didnât know what was required to be a mystery shopper. So I took a chance, figuring, âWhat do I have to lose?â It was more like what I had to gainânot only little perks, like free jeans, but also enough money to buy a car in cash. How Mystery Shopping Works
For about a decade, the paediatric sleep community has recommended that children three to five years old need 11 to 13 hours, children five to 10 years old need 10 to 11 hours, and adolescents 10 to 17 years need eight-and-a-half to nine-and-a-half hours of sleep each night.
There is no magic ânumber of sleep hoursâ that works for everybody of the same age. Babies initially sleep as much as 16 to 18 hours per day, which may boost growth and development (especially of the brain). School-age children and teens on average need about 9.5 hours of sleep per night. Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep a night, but after age 60, nighttime sleep tends to be shorter, lighter, and interrupted by multiple awakenings. Elderly people are also more likely to take medications that interfere with sleep.
